Taxes

Ah, the time of my dreading, Income Tax deadlines. Now, don't get me wrong. I believe in governments right to tax and the need to tax to both serve it's state and sovereign purposes and to reuse that money to give back to it's citizens. As a political science major, I've always believed in the good of tax collecting. After all, this has been done for centuries and centuries. Though it's been in practice for a long time, an average citizens' reaction to it stays the same. Most of us hate, dread paying taxes. Now the money that gets cut automatically from our pay checks is something we never see and have learned to live with it or, well perhaps the right phrase would be to live without it.

While I do love paying my taxes, I don't particularly love getting my income taxes done. It always costs me more than what the taxing services company says it will cost me and I never get back as much as they originally promise me, so I have been rolling around from one company to another for the past few years. Though, mine is no woe considering the large sums of money others pay. While the money that gets out of our pockets are always a hindrance to us, as we always consider the things we could have done with that money, it also usually serves a good purpose. Though I don't ever support wars and bans on women's rights, and their right to rule over their own bodies. Taxes are an established and practiced principle of life in anywhere in the world.

I just wish the wealthier top 20 percent of the country paid their shares considering they run this country.
